issued federal OSHA amendments to the Methylene Chloride standard: 29 CFR 1910.1052. The federal OSH/i
amendments address compliance startup dates and the effective dates for compliance with the collection of informatioi
and paperu'ork requirements. [Refs: 62 FR 42666. 8/8/97; 62 FR 43581, 8/14/97; 62 FR 48175, 9/15/97]

an OSHNC enforcement f)erspective, this rule is only applicable to public sector employees of local governments or o
the State of North Carolina. The effective date of the NC Administrative Code rule change is October 15, 1997.
(3) it has submitted permanent rule changes to amend 13 NCAC 07F.0101 and 13 NCAC 07F.0502 to reflect the
verbatim adoption of recently issued federal OSHA amendments to 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR 1917. In the July 25
1997, Federal Register [62 FR 40141-40234] federal OSHA promulgated a Final Rule that constituted
comprehensive rewrite and update of the regulations for Longshoring and parallel sections of the General Industry anc
Marine Terminals standards. 29 CFR 1910, 29 CFR 1917, and 29 CFR 1918 were affected. From an OSHNC
enforcement perspective, 29 CFR 1918 (Longshoring) is outside of OSHNC jurisdiction and the balance of this fma
rule is onl\ applicable to public sector employees of local governments or of the State of North Carolina. [Ref.

CHAPTER 2 - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
SUBCHAPTER 2D - AIR POLLUTION CONTROL
REQUIREMENTS
SECTION .0500 - EMISSION CONTROL STANDARDS
.0535 EXCESS EMISSIONS REPORTING AND
MALFUNCTIONS
(a) For this Rule the following definitions apply:
(1) "Excess Emissions" means an emission rate that
exceeds any applicable emission limitation or
standard allowed by any rule in Sections .0500,
.0900, .1200, or .1400 of this Subchapter; or by a
permit condition; or that exceeds an emission limit
established in a permit issued under 15 A NCAC 2H
Te^er 20 .0700.
(2) "Malfunction" means any unavoidable failure of air
pollution control equipment, process equipment, or
process to operate in a normal and usual manner
that results in excess emissions. Excess emissions
during periods of routine start-up and shut-down of
process equipment shall not be considered a
malfunction. Failures caused entirely or in part by
poor maintenance, careless operations or any other
upset condition within the control of the emission
source shall not be considered a malfunction.
(3) "Start-up" means the commencement of operation
of any source that has shut-down or ceased
operation for a period sufficient to cause
temperature, pressure, process, chemical, or a
pollution control device imbalance that would
result in excess emission.
(4) "Shut-down" means the cessation of the operation
of any source for any purpose.
(b) This Rule does not apply to sources to which Rules
.0524, .1110, or .1111 of this Subchapter applies unless
excess emissions exceed an emission limit established in a
permit issued under 15 A NCAC 211 .0610 2Q .0700 that is

PROPOSED RULES
more stringent than the emission limit set by Rules .0524,
. 1110 or .1111 of this Subchapter.
(c) Any e.xcess emissions that do not occur during start-up
or shut-down shall be considered a violation of the
appropriate rule unless the owner or operator of the source of
e.xcess emissions demonstrates to the Director, that the excess
emissions are the result of a malfunction. To determine if the
excess emissions are the result of a malfunction, the Director
shall consider, along with any other pertinent information, the
following:
(1) The air cleaning device, process equipment, or
process has been maintained and operated, to the
maximum extent practicable, consistent with good
practice for minimizing emissions:
(2) Repairs have been made expeditiously when the
emission limits have been exceeded;
(3) The amount and duration of the excess emissions,
including any bypass, have been minimized to the
maximum extent practicable;
(4) All practical steps have been taken to minimize the
impact of the excess emissions on ambient air
quality;
(5) The excess emissions are not part of a recurring
pattern indicative of inadequate design, operation,
or maintenance;
(6) The requirements of Paragraph (f) of this Rule have
been met; and
(7) If the source is required to have a malfunction
abatement plan, it has followed that plan.
All malfunctions shall be repaired as expeditiously as
practicable. However, the Director shall not excuse e.xcess
emissions caused by malfunctions from a source for more
than 15 percent of the operating time during each calendar
year. The Director may require the owner or operator of a
facility to maintain records of the time that a source operates
when it or its air pollution control equipment is
malfunctioning or otherwise has excess emissions.
(d) All electric utility boiler units subject to a rule in this
Section shall ha\e a malfunction abatement plan appro\ed by
the Director. In addition, the Director may require any other
source to have a malfunction abatement plan approved by the
Director. If the Director requires a malfunction abatement
plan for a source other than an electric uuYm boiler, the
owner or operator of that source shall submit a malfunction
abatement plan within 60 days after receipt of the Director's
request. The malfunction plans of electric utility boiler units
and of other sources required to have them shall be
implemented when a malfunction or other breakdown occurs.
The purpose of the malfunction abatement plan is to prevent,
detect, and correct malfunctions or equipment failures that
could result in excess emissions. A malfunction abatement
plan shall contain as a minimum:
(1) a complete pre\entive maintenance program
including:
(A) the identification of individuals or positions
responsible for inspecting, maintaining and
repairing air cleaning devices:
(B) a description of the items or conditions that
will be inspected and maintained;
(C) the frequency of the inspection, maintenance
services, and repairs; and
(D) an identification and quantities of the
replacement parts that shall be maintained in
inventory for quick replacement;
(2) an identification of the source and air cleaning
operating variables and outlet variables, such as
opacity, grain loading, and pollutant concentration,
that may be monitored to detect a malfimction or
failure; the normal operating range of these
variables and a description of the method of
monitoring or surveillance procedures and of
informing operating personnel of any malfunctions,
including alarm systems, lights or other indicators;
and
(3) a description of the corrective procedures that the
owner or operator will take in case of a malfunction
or failure to achieve compliance with the applicable
rule as expeditiously as practicable but no longer
than the next boiler or process outage that would
provide for an orderly repair or correction of the
malfunction or 15 days, whichever is shorter. If
the owner or operator anticipates that the
malfunction would continue for more than 15 days,
a case-by-case repair schedule will be established
by the Director with the source.
The owner or operator shall maintain logs to show that the
operation and maintenance parts of the malfunction abatement
plan are implemented. These logs shall be subject to
inspection b\' the Director or his designee upon request during
business hours.
(e) The owner or operator of any electric utility boiler unit
required to have a malfunction abatement plan shall submit a
malfunction abatement plan to the Director within 60 days of
the effective date of this Rule. The owner or operator of any
other source required by the Director to have a malfunction
abatement plan shall submit a malfunction abatement plan to
the Director within six months after it has been required by
the Director. The malfunction abatement plan and any
amendment to it shall be reviewed by the Director or his
designee. If the plan is satisfactory, the Director shall
approve it. If the plan does not adequately carry out the
objectives described by Paragraph (d) of this Rule, the
Director shall disapprove the plan. The Director shall state
his reasons for his disappro\al. The person who submits the
plan shall satisfactorily amend the plan as required by the
Director within a time prescribed by the Director. Any
person having an approved malfunction abatement plan shall
submit to the Director for his approval amendments reflecting
changes m any element of the plan required by Paragraph (d)
of this Rule or amendments when requested by the Director.
The malfunction abatement plan and amendments to it shall
be implemented within 90 days upon receipt of written notice
of approval .

(F) steps taken to control the emissions and to
prevent recurrences and if the malfunction or
breakdown has not been fixed, steps planned
to be taken, and
(G) any other pertinent information requested by
the Director.
After the malfunction or breaKdown has been corrected, the
Director may require the owner or operator of the source to
test the source in accordance with Rule .0501 of this Section
to demonstrate compliance.
(g) Start-up and shut-down. Excess emissions during start-
up and shut-down shall be considered a violation of the
appropriate rule if the owner or operator cannot demonstrate
that the excess emissions are unavoidable when requested to
do so by the Director. The Director may specify for a
particular source the amount, time, and duration of emissions
allowed during start-up or shut-down. The owner or operator
shall, to the extent practicable, operate the source and any
associated air pollution control equipment or monitoring
equipment in a manner consistent with best practicable air
pollution control practices to minimize emissions during start-
up and shut-down.

activities conducted at a research or laboratory
facility whose primary purpose is to conduct
research and development into new processes and
products, where such source is operated under the
close supervision of technically trained personnel
and is not engaged in the manufacture of products
for sale or exchange for commercial profit, except
'made minimis manner.
(16) "Similar source" means a stationary source or
process that has comparable emissions and is
structurally similar in design and capacity to a
constructed or reconstructed major source such that
the source could be controlled using the same
control technology.
(d) Principles of MACT determinations. The following
general principles shall be used to make a case-by-case
MACT determination concerning construction or
reconstruction of a major source under this Rule:
(1) The MACT emission limitation or MACT
requirements recommended by the applicant and
approved by the Division shall not be less stringent
than the emission control that is achieved in
practice by tJie best controlled similar source, as
determined by the Division.
(2) Based upon available information, the MACT
emission limitation and control technology
(including any requirements under Subparagraph
(3) of this Paragraph) recommended by the
663
NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER
October 15, 1997
12:8
PROPOSED RULES
applicant and approved by the Division shall
achieve the maximum degree of reduction in
emissions of HAP that can be achieved by utilizing
those control technologies that can be identified
from the available information, taking into
consideration the costs of achieving such emission
reduction and any non-air quality health and
environmental impacts and energy requirements
associated with the emission reduction.
(3) The owner or operator may recommend a specific
design, equipment, work practice, or operational
standard, or a combination thereof, and the
Director may approve such a standard if the
Division specifically determines that it is not
feasible to prescribe or enforce an emission
limitation under the criteria set forth in Section
1 r2(h)(2) of the federal Clean Air Act.
(4) If the EPA has either proposed a relevant emission
standard pursuant to Section 1 12(d) or 1 12(h) of the
federal Clean Air Act or adopted a presumptive
MACT determination for the source category that
includes the constructed or reconstructed major
source, then the MACT requirements applied to the
constructed or reconstructed major source shall
have considered those MACT einission limitations
and requirements of tlie proposed standard or
presumptive MACT determination.
(e) Effective date of MACT determination. The effective
date of a MACT determination shall be the date of issuance
of a permit under procedures of 15A NCAC 20 .0300 or
.0500 incorporating a MACT determination.
(f) Compliance date. On and after the date of start-up. a
constructed or reconstructed major source that is subject to
the requirements of this Rule shall be in compliance with all
applicable requirements specified in the MACT
determination.
(g) Compliance with MACT determinations. The owner
or operator of a constructed or reconstructed major source
that:
(1) is subject to a MACT determination shall comply
with all requirements set forth in the permit issued
under 15A NCAC 2Q .0300 or .0500. includin g
any MACT emission limitation or MACT work
practice standard, and any notification, operation
and maintenance, performance testing, monitoring,
reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.
(2) has obtained a MACT determination shall be
deemed to be in compliance with Section
112(g)(2)(B) of the federal Clean Air Act only to
the extent that the constructed or reconstructed
major source is in compliance with all requirements
set forth in the permit issued under 15A NCAC 20
.0300 or .0500. Any violation of such
requirements by the owner of operator shall bg
deemed by the Division and by EPA to be a
violation of tlie prohibition on construction or
reconstruction in Section 1 12(g)(2)(B) of the federal
Clean Air Act for whatever period the owner or
operator is determined to be in violation of such
requirements, and shall subject the owner or
operator to appropriate enforcement action under
the General Statutes and the federal Clean Air Act.
(h) Requirements for constructed or reconstructed major
sources subject to a subsequentlv promulgated MACT
standard or MACT requirement. If EPA promulgates an
emission standard under Section 112(d) or 112(h) of the
federal Clean Air Act or the Division issues a determination
under Rule .1109 of tJiis Section that is applicable to a
stationary source or group of sources that would be deemed to
be a constructed or reconstructed major source under this
Rule:
(1) before the date that the owner or operator has
obtained a final and legally effective MACT
determination under 15A NCAC 2Q .0300 or
.0500. the owner or operator of tlie source(s) shall
comply with the promulgated standard or
determination rather than any MACT determination
under this Rule by the compliance date in the
promulgated standard.
(2) after the source has been subject to a prior case-by-
case MACT under this Rule, and the owner or
operator obtained a final and legally effective case-
by-case MACT determination prior to the
promulgation date of such emission standard, the
Division shall [if the initial permit has not yet been
issued under 15A NCAC 20 .0500) issue an initial
permit that incorporates the emission standard or
determination, or shall £if tlie initial permit has
been issued under 15A NCAC 20 .0500) revise the
permit according to tlie reopening procedures in
15A NCAC 2Q .0517. Reopening for Cause,

established under Section 112(d) or 112(h) of tlie federal
Clean Air Act a specific compliance date for those sources
that have obtained a final and legally effective MACT
determination under this Rule and that have submitted the
information required by 40 CFR 63.43 to EPA before the
close of the public comment period for the standard
established under section 1 12(d) of the federal Clean Air Act.
Such date shall assure that the owner or operator shall comply
with the promulgated standard as expeditiously as practicable,
but not longer than eight years after such standard is
promulgated. In that event, the Division shall incorporate the
applicable compliance date in tlie permit issued under 15A
NCAC 20 .0500. If QQ compliance date has been established

facilities statewide that have the same four-digit standard
industrial classification code, except those facilities in
certified local air pollution control agency areas. (Local air
pollution control agencies shall call the standard industrial
classification code within their jurisdiction when the Director
calls that code. A local air pollution control agency may call
a particular standard industrial classification code before the
Director calls that code if the Commission approves the call
bx the local air pollution control agency.) Facilities with
sources that will be subject to MACT that receive an SIC call
shall notify the Director and shall comply with 2D .1100 in
accordance with Paragraph (b) of this Rule. All sources,
regardless of their standard industrial classification code,
excluding sources exempt from evaluation in Rule .0702 of
this Section, at the facility shall be included in the call for
permit applications. When the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) promulgates MACT under Section 112(e) of
the federal Clean Air Act, excluding cooling towers, the
Director shall notify the owners or operators of facilities in
the standard industrial classification that best corresponds to
the MACT category that they are required to submit a permit
application for the emissions of toxic air pollutants from their
facilities. If the EPA fails to promulgate a MACT as
scheduled, the Director shall notify the owners or operators
of facilities 18 months after the missed promulgation date that
they are required to submit a permit application for the
emissions of toxic air pollutants from their facilities. The
owner or operator of a facility whose actual rate of emissions
from all sources are not greater than the toxic permitting
emissions rates listed in Rule .0711 of this Section does not
have to file a permit application to comply with 15A NCAC
2D .1100. He shall provide documentation that the facility's
emissions of toxic air pollutants are below the levels in Rule
.0711 of this Section if the Director requests this
documentation.
(d) The owner or operator of a facility may request a
permit to emit toxic air pollutants any time before such
application is required. The permit application shall include
an evaluation for all toxic air pollutants covered under 15A
NCAC 2D .1104 for all sources at the facility, excluding
sources exempt from evaluation in Rule .0702 of this Section.

(1) is required to have a permit because of a pplicability
of a Section in Subchapter 2D of this Chapter other
than Section .1100 of Subchapter 2D of this
Chapter except for facilities whose emissions of
toxic air pollutants result only from sources
exempted under Rule .0102 of this Subchapter:
(2) has one or more sources subject to a MACT or
GACT standard that has previously been
promulgated under Section 112(d) of the federal
Clean Air Act or established under Section 112(e)
or 112(j) of the Clean Air Act: or
(3) has a standard industrial classification code that has
previously been called under Rule .0705 of this
Section:
the owner or operator of the facility shall comply with
Paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Rule.
(b) The owner or operator of the facility shall submit a
permit a pplication to comply with 15A NCAC 2D .1100 if
(1) The modification results in:
(A) a net increase in emissions of any toxic air
pollutant that the facility was emitting before
the modification: or
(B) emissions of any toxic air pollutant that the
facility was not emitting before the
modification if such emissions exceed the
levels contained in Rule .0711 of this
Section: or
(2) The Director finds that the modification of the
facility will significantly increase the risk to human
health posed by the facility. The Director shall
provide the findings to the owner or operator of the
facility. The Director may require the owner or
operator of a facility subject to this Subparagraph to
provide a satisfactory evaluation showing what the
resultant emissions and increase of risk to human
health from the modified facility will be.
(c) The permit application filed pursuant to tins Rule shall
include an evaluation for aU toxic air pollutants covered under
15A NCAC 2D . 1 104 for which there is:
(1) a net increase in emissions of any toxic air pollutant
that the facility was emitting before the
modification: and
(2) emission of any toxic air pollutant that the facility
was not emitting before the modification if such
emissions exceed the levels contained in Rule .0711
of this Section.
All sources at the facility, excluding sources exempt from
evaluation in Rule .0702 of this Section, emitting these toxic
air pollutants shall be included in the evaluation. A permit
application filed pursuant to Subparagraph (b)(2) of this Rule
shall include an evaluation for aU toxic air pollutants
identified by the Director as significantly increasing the risk
to human health.

.0709 DEMONSTRATIONS
(a) Demonstrations. The owner or operator of a source
who is applying for a permit or permit modification to emit
toxic air pollutants shall:
(1) demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director
through dispersion modeling that the emissions of
toxic air pollutants from the facility will not cause
any acceptable ambient level listed in 15A NCAC

(adjacent property boundary): or
(2) demonstrate to tlie satisfaction of the Commission
or its delegate that the ambient concentration
beyond the premises (adjacent property boundary)
for the subject toxic air pollutant will not adversely
affect human health (e.g.. a risk assessment
specific to tlie facility) though the concentration is
higher than the acceptable ambient level in 15A
NCAC 2D .1104 by providing one of the following
demonstrations:
(A) the area where the ambient concentrations
are expected to exceed the acceptable
ambient levels in 15A NCAC 2D .1104 is
not inhabitable or occupied for the duration
of the averaging time of tlie pollutant of
concern, or
(B) new toxicological data that show that the
acceptable ambient level in 15A NCAC 2D
. 1 104 for the pollutant of concern is too low
and the facility's ambient impact is below the
level indicated by tlie new toxicological data.

exist); or
(2) demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Commission
or its delegate that complying with the guidelines in
15A NCAC 2D .1104 would result in serious
economic hardship.
If the owner or operator makes a demonstration to the
satisfaction of the Commission or its delegate pursuant to
Subparagraphs ( 1 ) or 12} of this Paragraph, the Director shall
require the owner or operator of tlie source to apply
maximum feasible control. Maximum feasible control shall
be in place and operating within three years from the date that
the permit is issued for the maximum feasible control.
(c) Pollution Preyention Plan. The owner or operator of
any facility using the proyisions of Part (a)(2)(A) or
Paragraph (b) of tliis Rule shall develop and implement a
pollution prevention plan consisting of tlie following
minimum elements:

be maintained on site. A progress report on implementation
of the plan shall be prepared by the facility annually and be
made available to Division personnel for review upon request.
(d) Modeling Demonstration. If the owner or operator of
a facility demonstrates by modeling that no toxic air pollutant
emitted from the facility exceeds the acceptable ambient level
values given in 15A NCAC 2D .1104 beyond the facility's
premises, further modeling demonstration is not required with
the permit application. However, the Commission may still
require more stringent emission levels according to its
analysis under 15A NCAC 2D . 1 107.

approach to the assessment of risk and corrective action
consistent with NCGS 143-21 5.94V and Senate Bill 1317

approach to site assessment that will result in the
classification of contaminated sites into three risk categories
and define appropriate release responses for the respective
categories. 15A NCAC 2N .0701 - to specify that the criteria
under which Federal Regulations have been adopted by
reference in the rules of the state consistent with recent
legislative changes. This amendment further specifies that the
requirements and standards for corrective action in the State
of North Carolina will be 15A NCAC 2L. Changes are to
provide consistency with other rule changes made to
implement risk based corrective action pursuant to NCGS
1 43-21 5-94V and 1995 (Reg. Sess. 1996) c.648, s.l. 15A
NCAC 2N .0707 - specifies the criteria under which Federal

This rulemaking is intended to assure that state trust fund
reimbursements are continued for sites that pose the greatest
risk and to reduce the demand on trust funds for those sits
that are not a threat to public health or the environment. In
giving approval of a temporary rule for ISA NCAC 2P .0402,
the Environmental Management Commission gave approval
such that the previous Temporary Rule amendment to 15A
NCAC 2P .0402 that became effective January 2, 1996 is
amended.
Comment Procedures: No comments will be accepted for
this temporary rule. No abbreviated notice will be provided
to the public of the temporary rule. In giving approval for
these Temporary Rules, the Environmental Management
Commission deemed that an abbreviated notice to obtain
additional public comment was unnecessary. This is because
the text of 15A NCAC 2L .0106 was developed as a result of
public hearings held in March 1997 for a permanent rule
previously noticed in the North Carolina Register pursuant to
NCGS 150B. The text of this temporary rule is the same as
the text of the permanent 15A NCAC 2L .0106 that was
presented to the Environmental Management Commission on
September 11, 1997. This permanent rule is identified as one
of the rules in EHNR Rulemaking Number 2100 (Risk Based
Corrective Action for Petroleum Underground Storage
Tanks). Upon becoming effective, copies of this temporary
rule may be obtained from the Division of Water Quality -
Groundwater Section, 2728 Capital Boulevard, PO Box
29578. Raleigh, North Carolina, 27626-0578. It is
anticipated that the permanent rules will become effective in
August 1998 and will supersede the temporary rules that are
to go into effect on January 2, 1998.

person(s) making the request.
(b) Any person conducting or controlling an activity which
results in the discharge of a waste or hazardous substance or
oil to the groundwaters of the State, or in proximity thereto,
shall take immediate action to terminate and control the
discharge, mitigate any hazards resulting from exposure to
the pollutants and notify the Division of the discharge.
(c) Any person conducting or controlling an activity which
has not been permitted by the Division and which results in
an increase in the concentration of a substance in excess of
the standard, other than agricultural operations, shall:
(1) immediately notify the Division of the activity that
has resulted in the increase and the contaminant
concentration levels;
(2) take immediate action to eliminate the source or
sources of contamination;
(3) submit a report to the Director assessing the cause,
significance and extent of the violation; and
(4) implement an approved corrective action plan for
restoration of groundwater quality in accordance
with a schedule established by the Director, or his
designee. In establishing a schedule the Director,
or his designee shall consider any reasonable
schedule proposed by the person submitting the
plan. A report shall be made to the Health Director
of the county or counties in which the
contamination occurs in accordance with the
requirements of Rule .01 14(a) in this Section.

(2) "Intermediate risk" means that:
(A) surface water is located within 500 feet of
the source area of a confirmed discharge or
release and the maximum groundwater
contaminant concentration exceeds the
applicable surface water quality standards
and criteria found in 15 A NCAC 2B .0200

15A NCAC 2L .0202. whichever is lower:
or
(E) the levels of groundwater contamination for
ethylene dibromide and benzene exceed
1.000 times the federal drinking water
standard set out in 40 CFR 141.
(3) "Low risk" means that:
(A) the risk posed does not fall within the high or
intermediate risk categories: or
(B) based on review of site-specific information,
limited assessment or interim corrective
actions, the Department determines that the
discharge or release poses no significant risk
to human health or the environment.
If the criteria for more than one risk category applies, the
discharge or release shall be classified at the highest
a pplicable risk category unless the Department has
reclassified the discharge or release pursuant to Paragraph (e)
of this Rule.
(e) The Department may reclassify the risk posed by a
release if warranted by further information concerning the
potential exposure of receptors to the discharge or release or
upon receipt of new information concerning changed
conditions at the site. After initial classification of the
discharge or release, the Department may require limited
assessment, interim corrective action, or other actions which
the Department believes will result in a lower risk
classification. It shall be a continuing obligation of each
responsible party to notify the Department of any changes that
might affect the level of risk assigned to a discharge or
release by the Department if tlie change is known or should
be known by the responsible party. Such changes shall
include, but shall not be limited to. changes in zoning of real
property, use of real property or the use of groundwater that
has been contaminated or is expected to be contaminated by
the discharge or release, if such change could cause the
Department to reclassify the risk.
Ifi If the risk posed by a discharge or release is determined
by the Department to be high risk, the responsible party shall
comply with the assessment and cleanup requirements of Rule
.0106(c). £g) and ill] of this Subchapter and 15A NCAC 2N
.0706 and .0707. The goal of any required corrective action
for groundwater contamination shall be restoration to the
level of the groundwater standards set forth in 15A NCAC 2L
.0202. or as closely thereto as is economically and
technologically feasible. In any corrective action plan
submitted pursuant to this Subsection, natural attenuation shall
be used to tlie maximum extent possible. If the responsible
party demonstrates that natural attenuation prevents the
further migration of the plume, the Department may approve
a groundwater monitoring plan.
(g) If tlie risk posed by a discharge or release is
determined by the Department to be an intermediate risk, the
responsible party shall comply with the assessment
requirements of ISA NCAC 2L .0106 (cj aiid Ig] and 15A
NCAC 2N .0706. As part of the comprehensive site
assessment, the responsible party shall evaluate, based on site
specific conditions, whether the release poses a significant
risk to human health or tlie environment, if tne Department
determines, based on the site-specific conditions, that the
discharge or release does not pose a significant threat to
human health or tlie environment, the site shall be reclassified
as a low risk site. If the site is not reclassified, the
responsible party shall, at the direction of the Department,
submit a groundwater monitoring plan or a corrective action
plan, or a combination thereof, meeting the cleanup standards
of this Paragraph and containing the information required in
15A NCAC 2L .0106(h) and I5A NCAC 2N .0707.
Discharges or releases which are classified as intermediate
risk shall be remediated, at a minimum, to a cleanup level of
50 percent of tjie solubility of tlie contaminant at 25 degrees
Celsius or 1.0(X) times the groundwater standard or interim
standard established in 15A NCAC 2L .0202. whichever is
lower for any groundwater contaminant except ethylene
dibromide. benzene and alkane and aromatic carbon fraction
classes. Ethylene dibromide and benzene shall be remediated
to a cleanup level of 1.000 times the federal drinking water
standard set out in 40 CFR 141. Additionally, if a corrective
action plan or groundwater monitoring plan is required under

this Paragraph, the responsible party shall demonstrate that
the groundwater cleanup levels are sufficient to prevent a
violation of:
(1) the rules contained in 15A NCAC 2B:
(2) the standards contained in 15 A NCAC 2L .0202 in
a deep aquifer as described in Part (d)(2)(B) of this
Rule; and
£3} the standards contained in 15A NCAC 2L .0202 at
a location no closer than one year time of travel
upgradient of a well within a designated wellhead
protection area, based on travel time and the natural
attenuation capacity of the subsurface materials or
on a physical barrier to groundwater migration that
exists or will be installed by the person making the
request.
In any corrective action plan submitted pursuant to this
Subsection, natural attenuation shall be used to the maximum
extent possible.
(h) If the risk posed by a discharge or release is
determined by the Department to be a low risk, the
Department shall notify the responsible party that no cleanup.
no further cleanup or no further action will be required by the
Department unless the Department later determines that the
discharge oi release poses an unacceptable risk or a
potentially unacceptable risk to human health or the
environment. No notification will be issued pursuant to this
subsection, however, until the responsible party has
completed soil remediation pursuant to Paragraph tii of this
Rule except as provided in Paragraph Hj or as closely thereto
as economically or technologically feasible. The issuance by
the Department of a notification under this Paragraph shall
not affect any private right of action by any party which may
be affected by the contamination.
lii Assessment and remediation of soil contamination shall
be addressed as follows:
(1) At the time that the Department determines the risk
posed by the discharge or release, the Department
shall also determine, based on site-specific
information, whether the site is "residential" or
"industrial/commercial. " For purposes of this
Rule, a site is presumed residential, but may be
classified as industrial/commercial if the
Department determines based on site-specific
information that exposure to tlie soi] contamination
is limited in time due to the use of the site and does
not involve exposure to children. For purposes of
this Paragraph, "site" means both the property upon
which the discharge or release has occurred and
any property upon which soil has been affected by
the discharge or release.
(2) The responsible party shall submit a report to the
Department assessing the vertical and horizontal
extent of soil contamination.
(3) For a discharge or release classified by the
Department as jow risk, the responsible party shall
submit a report demonstrating that soil
contamination has been remediated to either the
residential or industrial/commercial maximum soil
contaminant concentration established by the
Department pursuant to Paragraph (m) of this Rule.
whichever is applicable.
(4) For a discharge or release classified by the
Department as high or intermediate risk, the
responsible party shall submit a report
demonstrating that soil contamination has been
remediated to die lowest of:
(A) the residential or industrial/commercial
maximum soil contaminant concentration.
whichever is applicable, that has been
established by tlie Department pursuant to
Paragraph (m) of tliis Rule: or
(B> the "soil-to-groundwater" maximum soil
contaminant concentration that has been
established by the Department pursuant to
Paragraph (m) of this Rule.
(ji A responsible party who submits a corrective action
plan which proposes natural attenuation or to cleanup
groundwater contamination to a standard other than a standard
or interim standard established in 15A NCAC 2L .0202. or to
cleanup soil other than to die standard for residential use or
soil-to-groundwater contaminant concentration established
pursuant to tliis Rule, whichever is lower, shall give notice

CHAPTER 7 - COASTAL MANAGEMENT
SUBCHAPTER 7H - STATE GUIDELINES FOR AREAS
OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
SECTION .0300 - OCEAN HAZARD AREAS
.0304 AECs WITHIN OCEAN HAZARD AREAS
The ocean hazard system of AECs contains all of the
following areas:
(1) Ocean Erodible Area. This is the area in which
there exists a substantial possibility of excessive
erosion and significant shoreline fluctuation. The
seaward boundary of this area is the mean low
water line. The landward extent of this area is
determined as follows:
(a) a distance landward from the first line of
stable natural vegetation to the recession line
that would be established by multiplying the
long-term annual erosion rate times 60,
provided that, where there has been no
long-term erosion or the rate is less than two
feet per year, this distance shall be set at 120
feet landward from the first line of stable
natural vegetation. For the purposes of this
Rule, the erosion rates shall be those set
forth in tables entitled "Long Term Annual
Erosion Rates updated through 1986" and
approved by the Coastal Resources
Commission on July 29, 1988 (except as
such rates may be varied in individual
contested cases, declaratory or interpretive
rulings). The tables are available without
cost from any local permit officer or the
Division of Coastal Management; and
(b) a distance landward from the recession line
12:8
NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER
October 15, 1997
726
TEMPORARY RULES
established in Sub-Item (l)(a) of this Rule to
the recession line that would be generated by
a storm having a one percent chance of being
equaled or exceeded in any given year.
(2) The High Hazard Flood Area. This is the area
subject to high velocity waters (including, but not
limited to, hurricane wave wash) in a storm having
a one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded
in any given year, as identified as zone VI -30 on
the flood insurance rate maps of the Federal
Insurance Administration, U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development. In the absence
of these rate maps, other available base flood
elevation data prepared by a federal, state, or other
source may be used, provided said data source is
approved by the CRC.
(3) Inlet Hazard Area. The inlet hazard areas are
natural-hazard areas that are especially vulnerable
to erosion, flooding and other adverse effects of
sand, wind, and water because of their proximity to
dynamic ocean inlets. This area shall extend
landward from the mean low water line a distance
sufficient to encompass that area within which the
inlet will, based on statistical analysis, migrate, and
shall consider such factors as previous inlet
territory, structurally weak areas near the inlet
(such as an unusually narrow barrier island, an
unusually long channel feeding the inlet, or an
overwash area), and external influences such as
jetties and channelization. The areas identified as
suggested Inlet Hazard Areas included in the report
entitled INLET HAZARD AREAS, The Final
Report and Recommendations to the Coastal
Resources Commission, 1978, by Loie J. Priddy
and Rick Carraway are hereby designated as Inlet
Hazard Areas except that the Cape Fear Inlet
Hazard as shown on said map shall not extend
northeast of the Baldhead Island marina entrance
channel. In all cases, this area shall be an
extension of the adjacent ocean erodible area and in
no case shall the width of the inlet hazard area be
less than the width of the adjacent ocean erodible
area. This report is available for inspection at the
Department of Envi r onment, Health. Environment
and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal
Management, 2728 Capital Boulevard, Raleigh,
North Carolina. Small scaled photo copies are
available at no charge.
(4) Unvegetated Beach Area. Beach areas within the
Ocean Hazard Area where no stable natural
vegetation is present may be designated as an
unvegetated beach area on either a permanent or
temporary basis.
(a) An area appropriate for permanent
designation as an unvegetated beach area
This is a dynamic area that is subject to rapid
unpredictable landform change from wind
and wave action. The areas in this category
shall be designated following detailed studies
by the Coastal Resources Commission.
These areas shall be designated on maps
approved by the Commission and available
without cost from any local permit officer or
the Division of Coastal Management.
(b) An area that is suddenly unvegetated as a
result of a hurricane or other major storm
event may be designated as an unvegetated
beach area for a specific period of time. At
the expiration of the time specified by the
Commission, the area shall return to its pre-
storm designation. Areas appropriate for
such designation are those in which
vegetation has been lost over such a large
land area that extrapolation of the vegetation
line under the procedure set out in Rule
.0305(e) of this Section is inappropriate.
The Commission designates as temporary
unvegetated beach areas those oceanfront areas in
New Hanover. Pender. Carteret and Onslow
Counties in which the vegetation line as shown on
aerial photography dated August 8^ 9 and IT^ 1996.
was destroyed as a result of Hurricane Fran on
September 5^ 1996. This designation shall continue
until such time as stable, natural vegetation has
reestablished or until the area is permanently
designated as an unvegetated beach area pursuant to
Sub-item (4)(a) of this Rule.

.0305 GENERAL IDENTIFICATION AND
DESCRIPTION OF LANDFORMS
(a) Ocean Beaches. Ocean beaches are lands consisting of
unconsolidated soil materials that extend from the mean low
water line landward to a point where either:
(1) the growth of vegetation occurs, or
(2) a distinct change in slope or elevation alters the
configuration of the landform, whichever is farther
landward.
(b) Primary Dunes. Primary dunes are the first mounds of
sand located landward of the ocean beaches having an
elevation equal to the mean flood level (in a storm having a
one percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given
year) for the area plus six feet. The primary dune extends
landward to the lowest elevation in the depression behind that
same mound of sand (commonly referred to as the dune
727
NORTH CAROLINA REGISTER
October 15, 1997
12:8
TEMPORARY RULES
trough).
(c) Frontal Dunes. The frontal dune is deemed to be the
first mound of sand located landward of the ocean beach
having sufficient vegetation, height, continuity and
configuration to offer protective value.
(d) General Identification. For the purpose of public and
administrative notice and convenience, each designated minor
development permit-letting agency with ocean hazard areas
may designate, subject to CRC approval, a readily
identifiable land area within which the ocean hazard areas
occur. This designated notice area must include all of the
land areas defined in Rule .0304 of this Section. Natural or
man-made landmarks may be considered in delineating this
area.
(e) "Vegetation Line" means the first line of stable natural
vegetation, which shall be used as the reference point for
measuring oceanfront setbacks. This line represents the
boundary between the normal dry-sand beach, which is
subject to constant flux due to waves, tides, storms and wind,
and the more stable upland areas. It is generally located at or
immediately oceanward of the seaward toe of the frontal dune
or erosion escarpment. In areas where there is no stable
natural vegetation present, this line shall be established by
connecting or extending the lines from the nearest adjacent
vegetation on either side of the site and by extrapolating (by
either on-ground observation or by aerial photographic
interpretation) to establish the line. In areas within the
boundaries of a large scale beach nourishment or spoil
deposition project, the vegetation line that existed before
commencement of the project shall be used as the vegetation
line for determining oceanfront setbacks after the project is
completed. A project shall be considered large scale when:
(1) it places more than a total volume of 200,000 cubic
yards of sand at an average ratio of more than 50
cubic yards of sand per linear foot of shoreline, or
(2) it is a Hurricane Protection project constructed by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
(f) "Erosion Escarpment" means normal vertical drop in
the beach profile caused from high tide or storm tide erosion.
(g) Measurement line means the line from which the
oceanfront setback as described in Rule .0306(a) of this
Section is measured in the unvegetated beach area of
environmental concern as described in Rule .0304(4) of this
Section. Procedures for determining the measurement line in
areas designated pursuant to Rule .0304(4)(a) of this Section
shall be adopted by the Commission for each area where such
a line is designated pursuant to the provisions of G.S. 150B.
These procedures shall be available from any local permit
officer or the Division of Coastal Management. In areas
designated pursuant to Rule .0304(4)(b) of this Section, the
Division of Coastal Management shall establish a
measurement line that approximates the location at which the
vegetation line is expected to reestablish by:
(1) determining the distance the vegetation line receded
at the closest vegetated site to the proposed
development site: and
(2) locating the line of stable natural vegetation on the
most current pre-storm aerial photography of the
proposed development site and moving this line
landward the distance determined in Subparagraph
(g)(1) of this Rule.
The measurement line established pursuant to this process
shall in every case be located landward of the average width
of the beach as determined from the most current pre-storm
aerial photography.
